Systems and methods for indicating spatial map employment for localization services

Abstract

Embodiments herein disclose methods for indicating a spatial map employment for a localization service. The method includes sending, by a first entity ( 102 ), a subscribe request to subscribe for a spatial map employed event to a second entity ( 112 ). The subscribe request may include a map identity, an identity associated with a requestor, and at least one security parameter. The method further includes receiving, by the first entity ( 102 ), a success response from the second entity ( 112 ) based on the subscribe request. The success response may include a subscription identity.

         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in case that the second entity has sufficient information to map all objects related to the area of interest and the spatial map is ready to provide service, receiving, from the second entity, a first notification message for indicating that the spatial map is ready to provide service.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:

         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the second request message includes at least one of an identifier of the first entity, security information, or an identifier of the spatial map. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 ,
